What you likely need
You're a seasoned operator-turned-investor with a strong exit (FiveStars/$317M) and an active fund, but your public builder presence (GitHub, writing) is dormant — which undersells your technical depth to LPs and founders. Doubling down on thought leadership and fund visibility would meaningfully expand your deal flow and LP base as you scale Operator Stack Fund's flagship vehicle.
Are these your current priorities?
We will tune and customize your Founder Festival experience to make sure you get invited to the events that would be most valuable to you.
- fundraisingAccelerate LP outreach for your flagship $10M Operator Stack Fund — your FiveStars exit and YC pedigree are compelling anchors for institutional LPs at family offices and endowments.
- positioningPublish a regular newsletter or blog on operator-to-investor lessons (payments, SMB SaaS, logistics) to build LP and founder trust — your McKinsey + FiveStars + SumUp arc is a rare combination worth broadcasting.
- tacticalReactivate your GitHub with even lightweight public repos (tools, scripts, or OSS contributions) to signal continued technical credibility to technical founders evaluating you as an investor.
- introsEngage the YC alumni network more visibly — your FiveStars YC-top-100 status gives you warm access to current batch founders who are ideal Operator Stack deal flow.
- positioningPublicize your Wayve investment more prominently in fund materials — a unicorn portfolio company is a tier-1 signal for LP due diligence and co-investor credibility.
- introsLeverage your SumUp GM network (3,500 employees, 37 countries) to source enterprise fintech and payments deal flow that aligns with Operator Stack's thesis.
- fundraisingGrow your AngelList syndicate backer base — with two portfolio acquisitions and a unicorn, you now have a track record to attract larger syndicate checks and reduce reliance on SPV-by-SPV fundraising.
